Pandan Leaf Restaurant, Prestatyn

I just wanted to add a brief post about an amazing restaurant I visited not long ago; because if you’re in the area, I highly recommend it!

A while ago I stayed with the family in Talacre, North Wales.  For a meal one evening, we headed into Prestatyn town centre – not far away – where I’d been advised of an excellent restaurant.

Although not too far away from home, we were twenty minutes away and didn’t have any idea on local places to eat.  Luckily, a colleague of mine lives local and was able to advise.

Pandan Leaf is on the high street in Prestatyn, and really easy to find.  Not least because it’s quite exotically – and beautifully – decorated.  They specialise in authentic Asian food, with a great variety to choose from.

On my visit, I shared the Malaysian banquet for two people.  Starters consisted of Penang pork rolls; vegetable spring rolls; Malaysian chicken satay and dry spare ribs.  There was plenty to eat, and it was delicious – including the best spring rolls I’ve ever had!

Large portions were also served up for the main courses.  There were three dishes: Malaysian Sambal chilli prawn; beef rendang and chicken curry – with fantastic coconut rice.  Beautiful dishes, I couldn’t pick a favourite – they were all superb.

With some decent drinks and really friendly, expert service, our family trip to Pandan Leaf was a total success.  Everyone in our party – including ages from seven to seventy – loved it.

A return trip is definitely on the cards.  Despite the distance, it’s something we’d all love to do.  If you’re ever in the area, don’t miss your chance to sample this wonderful food for yourself.
